I am looking at the README. It claims only:

"""
  * BoM text file
  * HTML documentation
  * TeX documentation
  * Wiki documentation (suitable for the reprap.org wiki)
  * Dependency tree in text-mode and using GraphViz
"""

Before I puke over this, can you show me where the documentation is?
is there a spec?

Does the BOM refer to part numbers, or package names, or what?

What is the dependency tree being resolved against?

The README links to a wiki, which 404s.
